TO ALL `WHOM ITMAY CONCERN: i

Be it known that I, JOSEPH Buscan, ot' Freeport, ia the onu ity ofStephenson, and State of Illinois, have invented a. new and usefulImprovement in Buekwheat-Hnlling Machine; and I do hereby declare thatthe following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, whichwill enable others skilled in tho art to make and use the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of thisspecification, in which- Figure 1 is a top view of my improvedhelling-machine..

Figure 2, a vertical section taken in the line z' z, iig)A 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

This invention relates to improvements in a machine for hullingbucknlieat or other grain, and consists in arrangements for driving therunner, for stepping the spindle, for regulating the suction of thefan-blower, and for shaking the trash-screen, as hereinafterparticularly described. i

A represents the rectangular frame of a hulling-innchine, and on acentral bottom cross-beam, B, is stepped the vertical spindle a of theburrC, placed in theiniddle of the frame. The spindle a is stepped in abearing orjournal-box, b, secured on the cross-beani B. Thestep c fitsloosely in the box b, and extends up into it to .meet the point oi' thespindle, while` it rests, utthe lower end, on the tightening-har N. Thespindle extends down into the journal-box By this arrangement thespindley and the ste-p are both kept in place, and work freely andeasily. On the spindle a, just above the cross-beam B, is placed adouble knocker, d. for striking the vibrating spring-bar M, that shakesthe trash-screen e, on the hopper D. The runner is provided with acombined driver and bail, g. The driver is a. cross-bar, set on the topoi' the spindle,with cross-heads or ends L, that are let into the bottomof the runner, and the ruimer is halancedth'ereon by two set-screws it',at cach end, passing through the ends of the crossheads t h, screwedinto plates, and passing through the stoncfrom the top, as shown clearlyin the drawings. On one side of the machine is placed a fan-blower, E,in the box F, on the top of which is a slide-damper or valve, 7c, toregulate the draught or suction ofthe fan; and a suctionanddischargechute or spout, G, is connected with the fan-box F, and isarched over the machine. The discharge-spout m, leading from themillsto'nes, opens into the suction-spout G on the side opposite thefan. A vertical slide-valve, n, is placed in the suctionspout G, at thecrown ofthe arch, to regulate the draughtof air, and catch the tailingsor broken grain which pass out at that point from a discharge-spout, atthe mouth of which is a leather flap, p.

Having described my invention, I claim as new, and desire to secure byLetters Patent- Th'e arrangement of the tightening-bar N, spindle-stepc,'knockers al, for operating thetrush-screen, spindle a-, bail g,fanfblower E, and curved spout G, as herein shown and described.
